Systems Approach in Russian Systemology: The Transitivity of Philosophical Value and Meaning
The article is devoted to the issue of a systems approach in the context of philosophical problems. The necessity of revising system representations and expanding the dynamic component, according to the requirements of the time, is substantiated. Attention is focused on the evolution of the concept of the systems approach in Russian systemology. It is shown that the uniqueness of the evolution of the systems approach in Russia is due to the problem of determining its role and place in the conditions of the dominance of materialistic dialectics in the Soviet period. The aim of the article is to trace the modern formation of the synthesis of the systems approach and dialectics. Through historical analysis, the emergence of basic concepts on which system-dialectical synthesis is carried out today is revealed. Variants of interpretation of the systems approach in Russian science and philosophy are highlighted – its relationship with the philosophical principle of sistemicity, an interdisciplinary scientific field, and the field of private sciences. It is shown that the systems approach, enriched by the dynamic capabilities of the dialectic and synergetic approaches, is qualitatively expanding its application possibilities. The line of research raised by V. N. Sagatovskiy and continued by E. G. Vinogray is the problem of the causes of the formation of systems as a result of resolving systemic contradictions, complemented by the possibility of forming systems based on emerging synergistic relationships. It is proposed to consider the contradiction and synergy as a double category of system-forming factors in the process of formation of the modern concept of the systems approach.
